Salty Dog Opening

Food was excellent! It's like seeing an old friend.

I drove past "the dog" yesterday and there were tons of cars..............
I thought I'd wait a few days to check it out. Everyone I"ve talked to said it was happening.
Hopefully some great music and good bar food just in time for the summer.
I having another option to go some place different once in awhile.

Any feed back out there?

Had a beer there (and a cup of seafood gumbo) tonight. The beer (Abita) was excellent. The gumbo was just OK but I am fine with that because I am thrilled that we have someplace with a full liquor license on this part of 30A again...

Place looks GREAT!

I look forward to paying their electric bill!

hahahaha

Is this place a chain?

Is this place a chain?

No.

No.

Thanks! I was hoping not. Has a menu been posted yet?

I tried the fried brie last night. It was out of this world!

They fix the lock on the women's restroom door and I will become a regular! Congrats on the soft opening where that's the only thing I could find to complain about!

Pool, good drinks, and some great smelling onion rings!

Here are couple of videos from the soft opening night that are on 30A Television.

Don't go to Salty Dog Saloon! I need to be able to get a seat! lol. I went with a friend after work, and we had a great time. I saw many familiar faces, many friends, and a few SoWaller friends. The place was packed, and looked new, yet familiar. No sign posted yet, and it was their fifth day opened. I think they will do very well with that place. The smokers deck looks larger than I remember it, so for those who like to smoke with their drinks, you have that option, though no A/C outside.

Smiling faces on the people working there, and Heidi (server) took great care of us. We were greeted at the door upon arrival, and welcomed in. It is very casual, and not a formal greeting in any way -- just friendly and sincere. The crowd was almost 100% local, and the others were want-to-be locals. The bartenders looked happy, and Stan (mgr) was working, too, checking on everyone to ensure all was well, which is greatly appreciated.
Good selection of fairly-priced beers on tap (if you like hoppy beer, try Fire Rock Ale).

Freshly squeezed grapefruit and oranges for the Salty Dogs and Greyhounds.

Food menu mixed with apps, sandwiches, burgers, po-boys, with shrimp, oyster, and fish baskets, and steak.

We ate the Fried Brie with the sweet asian sauce, and it was mighty tasty and complemented my Fire Rock Ale. Good report on the Avocado/Swiss burger. The Brie/Sauteed Onion Burger will be next on my list to sample.

Scooter, I informed Stan (mgr) about the door not locking for the women's restroom, and he stated that he was aware of the problem, and it is an issue with the door frame, and he cannot repair it himself, but they were working on getting someone to work on it.

(Pool table still in action.)

Thanks for telling Stan about the door lock - we told a waitress about it opening night after I suprised someone .

Definitely love the new menu, beer selection and pool table.

We got about 10 games in because I was so happy to have access to a table!

We were there last night as well, saw a happy SJ!! The wings were grayt and we really like the entire menu. Stan the man-ager was also wonderful and spoke to everyone about their experiences and what they liked/disliked. They have ordered tv's for the outside deck and will have the music piped out there too. Scooter, I forgot all about the bathroom issue, whew, I am a lucky dog that no one walked in on me! We will be back!!

The bathroom issue is so minor - wasn't meaning to harp. Since there is always a line for a women's room or a friend nearby, it's an easy solution to have someone watch the door for you!

Maybe we can get the Canuck to take a look.:roll:

I'm a want to be local and I'm coming in this weekend. Where is the Salty?

Who owns Salty's now? Easy fix for the bathroom door, hook and eye lock, temporarily. Or maybe it's part of the attraction! Glad to hear there is an old local favorite back open!

Blue Mtn Beach, located directly on 30-A, beige with maroon trim. I believe someone mentioned there is no sign.

Stinky's owner. Grayt idea for the bathroom door!

I thought about that hook and eye, too, but I wondered if there may be some law about not being able to get someone out. eg- someone goes to the restroom, locks the door, has a heart attack, falls hitting her head, rendering her unconscious, and no one can get to the person to save her life because that type of lock cannot be unlocked from the outside. I have no idea if that is the case, but I could see it being so.

I called Bdarg to tell him we had arrived in Nashville safe and sound. He was at Salty Dog, starting his week of bachelorhood off right.:roll:

If that issue arizes give me and call and I'll pull the door open with my limp wrist. :roll:

A good determined hip check can usually "open" most hook and eye closures - it's not like adding one turns the crapper into Fort Knox so they should be good for the rare medical emergency you describe! :funn:

So the not locking women's restroom is an attraction?????? Let me know when the door is fixed...then I'll check out the new Salty's....or better yet...use the men's room and take my time about it....that might get some attention.

seagrovegirl, you ladies would have more privacy by using the ladies room, even if the door didn't lock. That Men's room is going to have a lot of people accusing guys of flashing -- I guarantee it. At least the women's is in the corner. I bet Stan gets that ladies room door fixed for you pretty quickly. Next time I'm in there, I'll ask him about installing the hook latch as a temporary and back up lock. Feel free to ask him yourself if you beat me back to frequent.

I'll bring one with me and install it myself.

Thanks for the kind words. Bathroom door is fixed. This weekend is the Grand Opening. Music lineup is:
